Have a Hair Art Pendant Made Using Your Own Hair Or the Hair of Your Loved One
|
|
| Using
techniques from the 1700 and 1800's this
jewelry
is fashioned from a lock of your
loved
one's hair into the design of the client's choice. The
"hair art"
is
done on a piece of mother-of-pearl and then
placed
into a solid sterling silver pendant with a glass domed
covering.
The pendants have the versatility of being worn as either a
necklace
or a brooch. They feature both a pin with a safety
clasp
and a loop for a chain on the back. These solid sterling pendants
can also be ordered with a 24k gold vermeil finish.
"Hair Jewelry" was made as mourning jewelry, remembrance jewelry and as a gift of love during Victorian times when there were no pictures to look upon and remember a loved one with. Hair jewelry makes a unique and beautiful gift to a loved one for a special occasion even today. Hair jewelry is made and given with love. This jewelry is made using the "cutwork" or "palette work" technique, and results in a pendant of "wearable art". Very little hair is needed, a small lock is sufficient to make any of the styles shown, and custom designs can be done to your specifications upon request. ** Not all hair is compatible for every design, please e-mail with any questions. |
| During
Victorian
times flowers had symbolic meanings. For
instance
a pansy symbolized thoughtfulness, a rose meant love or hope.
